    I have a theory that people who dress their dogs are control freaks.

    My dog actually likes getting "dressed." A new collar or bandanna and she holds her head high and prances around. Yet I almost never put anything on her. Maybe I'm mean.

    My dog has a bunny suit for Halloween that she wears for about five minutes.
    She does have a winter coat she she does wear out of necessity. She loves to plow thru the snow and it just clings to her curly hair.
    She would come into the house cold and wet and melt all over the place.

    Not under any circumstances should a pet be "dressed up"

    Ok, maybe hedgehogs. But not dogs, definitely not cats.

    Weasley was VERY underweight when we adopted him. and winter was coming. so i got him a LOVELY sweater. b/c he legit had NO fat barrier to keep him warm. i put it on him. he looked SO CUTE! and then i looked into his eyes. eyes of shame. eyes that were wondering what he could have POSSIBLY done wrong to deserve such punishment. his ears were down, his tail between his legs, his whole demeanor was depressed and dejected. took the sweater off of him and he went happily bounding away, his frisky self again.

    He's got some house elf in there somewhere, mark my words.

    My dog requires it. And putting boots on dogs in winter when you take them for a walk is actually quite beneficial. The salt they put on sidewalks and roads are terrible for them, and when caught in the paw it can cut them open, and if they lick it off it can poison them.

    I'll take my chances by taking my pet's health and well being into consideration in inclement weather.

    Weather aside - no, I don't dress him up, he's free to be naked...except for my wedding, my wife bought him a custom tuxedo for his odd body shape... he had to look good as my best man...He actually enjoys having clothes on...

    No. My pup would freak the hell out if I tried to put a sweater on her or something. She prefers being naked, and damn it if she don't look good doing it. :)

    I make hats for my cats. And petal collars. My entertainment is the price they must pay for the sofa and the bottomless bowl.

    I put a sweater on her in the Winter. She's half Dachshund, half Chihuahua (Chiweenie) and they get colder quicker. So, she needs the sweater when we go for walks. I've bought a hot dog costume for her... she is half Dachshund... Lolz. She didn't like it.
